Behold a cinnamon cream cheese frosting on a pumpkin cupcake filled with nuts and spices. This is a perfect fall holiday treat to bring to gatherings or have around for visitors. It’s basically a cream cheese frosting with the addition of cinnamon, but along with the vanilla, it brings a nice warmth to the frosting. Plus it’s a great balance with a sweet pumpkin or dark chocolate cake or cupcake.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting From Gimme Some Oven

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cinnamon

In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, mixing well until it’s all incorporated. Use immediately or refridgerate. The frosting will harden in the fridge, so plan on bring it back to room temperature if you must refrigerate it before frosting the cupcakes.
